71 Chevy C10 Parchment

I want to make my interior as original looking as I can. It says the interior is Parchment Trim and exterior is White/Light Red. So, dealing with the interior first, attached are some pictures of what is there now. Pretty sure the steering column is Sandalwood?? you can see from the pictures that door handles and seatbelts are red, visors are red. what i want to know is original color of:
-seat
-seatbelts
-sunvisors
-dash
-door panels
-floor (type of material)
-door handles
-anything else i've forgotten to mention

This site is great. Thanks in advance to all fellow members for your helpful insight.

Re: 71 Chevy C10 Parchment

-seat - Parchment (style would depend on truck's model)
-seatbelts - Parchment
-sunvisors - Parchment
-dash - Sandalwood (darker than steering column)
-door panels - Parchment
-floor (type of material) - Depends on truck's model. Black rubber or could be sandalwood colored rubber.
-door handles - Parchement

Check my build for pictures. My model is Custom Deluxe though.
Being a Custom Deluxe, the rubber floor cover was color keyed to match Sandalwood.
Looks like your current dash pad, seat and steering wheel are Saddle color.
Parchment is an off white color (Ivory).

My parchment interior '71 came with all parchment (white) components like
litew8 said above except a black floor mat, steering column, and steering wheel...

litew8 Seems to have covered pretty much everything here colorwise. But your truck is also a "Custom Deluxe" as listed on the SPID as RPO Z62. This is the first level upgrade from base and makes for a very nice truck. The biggest problem ($$$) is going to be the seat cover as it was a specific cloth and vinyl cover that I am not aware of being reproduced at this time. So a custom made cover from original replacment cloth would be required. Looked about but I do not have '71 "Custom Deluxe" interior picture at all. However I do offer up these two clips to assist you.

Re: 71 Chevy C10 Parchment

Hopefully you can see pictures now shortbox9. I have very good parchment seat fabric pictures in my build thread. I'm fortunate to still have the original with decent fabric. Tim is right, it isn't reproduced (exactly). SMS does have the cloth pattern/fabric - but their color is off and it doesn't contain gold flake like I've witnessed and photographed on mine.
